Item details
Type in how many adults and children are coming and this workbook works out how much turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, rolls, pie and drinks to buy, then turns it into a priced shopping list and an hour-by-hour plan for the big day. Pick a light, typical or hearty appetite level, add a leftover percentage, and every amount updates. The sample menu is already filled in for 12 adults and 4 children, so you can see how it all works before you change a single cell.
Ideas for using it: - Work out the right turkey size and the number of packs of every side before you shop - Share one priced list with whoever is bringing dishes to Friendsgiving or a family potluck - Print the countdown and day-of timeline for the kitchen wall and hand out tasks
What's included: - 1 XLSX workbook with 4 tabs: Quantity Calculator, Shopping List (with cost by aisle), Timeline, How to Use - 1 ODS copy of the same workbook - 1 CSV: the shopping list as plain values (21 filled items plus blank rows) - 1 TSV: the quantity table as plain values (12 dishes plus 2 blank rows)
Print setup: every sheet is set to fit one page wide on US Letter (change to A4 in your print dialog).
Opens in: - XLSX opens in Microsoft Excel (2016, 2019, 2021, Microsoft 365), Google Sheets (upload and open), LibreOffice Calc and Apple Numbers; formulas recalculate as you type. - ODS opens in LibreOffice Calc, Apache OpenOffice, Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel and Apple Numbers; formulas recalculate as you type. - CSV (comma-separated, UTF-8) imports into Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, LibreOffice, Airtable, Notion and most databases. - TSV (tab-separated, UTF-8) imports into Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, LibreOffice and most databases; it keeps commas inside text cells.
About the fonts: Playfair Display, Nunito give the design its look and are free from Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License, including commercial use. Missing fonts fall back to Georgia or Arial-style system fonts.
How to use: type only in the soft yellow cells. Tinted cells are formulas. Dropdowns are built in for appetite level, aisle and done/not done. No macros or add-ins are used.
How the math works: total needed = (adults x per-adult amount + children x per-child amount) x serving factor. The serving factor is your appetite multiplier (0.85, 1.00 or 1.20, editable) times one plus your leftover percentage. Packages to buy rounds up to whole packs. Roast time uses a rule of thumb of about 13 minutes per pound for an unstuffed bird; always confirm the thickest part reaches 165 F on a food thermometer. Prices on the shopping list are placeholders so the sheet looks alive. Replace them with your own store prices in the yellow column.
